Florestan Fernandes National School

“We reject the process of dismantling citizens rights acquired by the people of Paraná and the break up of public education.”

Since February 9th, teachers and employees of public schools in Paraná have been striking against a governmental bill, approved by governor Beto Richa (Brazilian Social Democracy Party PSDB - “Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira”), which includes measures that negatively impact educators’ careers.

Frida Kahlo. This was the name given to the House of Arts, part of the Florestan Fernandes National School, (for MST political education) in the municipality of Guararema in São Paulo. The inauguration took place on the evening of January 21.

Founded in December of 2009, the Association of Friends of the National School of Florestan Fernandes functions—using the school's own pedagogical process—with the objective of bringing together people that can contribute to a transformative force to construct a more just and equal society.

European Committees of Friends of the MST met from October 24 to 26, 2014 in Mondoñedo, Galicia, Spain. Representatives from FMST Committees of Germany, Portugal, Norway, Sweden, Belgium and Galicia, Basque Country and Catalonia in Spain met for their bi-annual meeting. Sending their regards, but unable to attend, were the committees from Italy and Finland.
